The Times has recently received several such communications. It does not follow that a name and address must be published, but it should be given the newspaper as an evidence of good faith, A newspaper must know that a letter sub- mitted for publication is bona fide and is neither a practical joke nor the work of some irresponsible person. Of course, if a letter contains personal references of any kind then the name and address of the writer must be published, Those who have written this newspaper and have not given their names and address- es will understand from the foregoing why their letters have not and will not appear in print, A reputable newspaper must take this stand for the protection of its readers and itself, A SUGGESTED LOCATION FOR A PUBLIC LAVATORY Early this year Alderman Carnell suggest- ed that a public lavatory be installed in a down-town location, Other members of Council supported the idea, But no one seemed to have a satisfactory suggestion for a location and the matter was dropped for the time being, In conversation with a prominent citizen ed few days ago we received a suggestion which we believe is a good one and well worth passing on to the City Council, The suggestion is that a public lavatory be lo- cated at the south-west corner of Athol and Simcoe streets, The lavatory might be in- stalled below the street level with entrances for men and women on the street level, There is a wide boulevard at this corner and as there are no business places affected there could be no objection on that score. The location is a very central one, being = eee en D. 'Uresiddev, repre. THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1928 A opposite the Oshawa Railway station and as close to the business section as possible. We are not in this article advocating the establishment of a public lavatory, but if such were established, we can think of no better location than that suggested. We would like to see an estimate of cost of con- struction and maintenance, including proper supervision, before expressing a definite opinion on the matter. But if decided upon, the location mentioned is worth considering. THE LAW OF FRIENDSHIP Emerson defined friendship by attributing to it the characteristics of Truth and Tender- ness. Between friends, each may be sin- cerely himself, without the protection of sham or affectation often assumed in ordin- ary intercourse, "My friend," said Emerson, "gives me entertainment without requiring me to stoop, or to lisp, or to mask myself." Further, friendship needs tenderness to tide it over rough 10ads and hard fare, which are bound to come. The end of friendship is for aid and comfort through all the relations . and passages of life and death, Without Truth and Tenderness, a friendship cannot survive such experience. This kind of friendship seems of necessity to be limited to two persons. With the pre- sence of a third, self-consciousness enters in and the fine sincerity of the former rela- tion is lost, It is difficult enough to find two persons whose interests and personalities so complement each other as to make real friendship possible. A third would compli- cate the situation hopelessly. Someone will say, what of the clubs and lodges where men grow intimate with each other? Such exist in numbers, it is true; but real friendship as defined by Emerson cannot develop in the midst of a group. The whole of each member's personality could never be grasped by the others. The law of one to one, as Emerson sums it up, is the practice and consummation of friendship. EDITORIAL NOTES One of the most comfortable places to live is just inside your income. One-half the world doesn't know how the other half can afford that kind of an auto- mobile, Nations are beginning to see a relation- ship between a keen moral sense and keen common sense, Bit of Verse SORROWS, AND JOYS These are the sorrows of the ages: The wives of drunkards, birds in cages, Lovers decided, and maids forsaken, A friend who finds his faith mistaken, A daughter with man's mark upon her, The fathers bowed by sons' dishonor, We have not learned, since life's beginning, There must be sorrow if there's sinning, But, oh, the joys of all the ages, Written in gold on shining pages!-- The gentle wives, the husbands tender, The winging birds, and friendship's splendor, The loving sen and filial duty, Daughters of modesty and beauty-- Whatever else our earthly treasures, These are the great eternal pleasures. --Douglas Malloch -|take flag display Do YouOwn REAL ESTATE Homes built to suit purchasers, R, M.

Stephenson, one time In- diana Klan leader must serve his life sentence in prison. The In- diana Supreme Court has 'denied his petition for a rehearing of his habeas corpus suit. It may well be, as Stephenson maintains, that certain "higher ups" in Indiana are determined to keep him in prison from selfish motives. It doubtless is true thae he could ruin even more reputa- tions than he has already spoiled it he were to come out in the open and tell what he knows. Yet, at the same time, it is per- missible to be satisfied with his imprisonment. After all, he com- mitted a dreadful crime. He is lucky that he did not pay for it with his life. However much some Indiana politicians may be working against him, the fact remains that Stephenson, the murderer, is ex- actly where he belongs. HIS IDEA OF A HOLIDAY (New York Evening World) The Rev. Dr. Mark A. Matthews of Seattle, former Moderator of the Presbyterian Assembly, and who as far back as 1910 discov- ered and proclaimed the advan- tages of New York as the country's best summer resort is at the Wal- dorf-Astoria on his annual vaca- tion. He says he has no reason to alter his opinion acquired on his first visit here thirty years ago. "I do not like to go to a resort where I am idle most of the time," he said. "That is not my idea of recreation. Here in New York there is something to do and something to see, and it is always new, That is why I still think New York is a summer resort of the first class." Dr. Matthews is Grand Prelate of the Knights Templar, and de- livered the inaugural sermon at a recent conclave in Detroit. He stopped off in Pittsburzh before coming to New York, FLAG COURTESY (Niagara Falls Review) The problem may not be serious but it is just possible that a meas- ure of ill-will may develop by tourists showing lack of judg- ment in carrying flags on their automobiles. Canadians, as a whole, don't very seriousiy, yet it is eause for irritation when one sees thousands of cars from across the line carrying American flags only while they tour the goad roads of Ontario. Not one American in ten thous- and is reminded that he is heing discourteous, but Canadians do not appreciate the different attitude on the American side where the police will not permit se many as one Canadian flag to he flown even when it is surrounded by Ameri- can flags. Contrast of attitude is too great, Our cousins from across the line ought to be a Ittle more generous than they have in the past, for they show a hundred times less consideration for proper flag courtesy than do Canadians. AUTHORITY FOR "IT'S ME" (New York Herald; Tribune) Here is stupefying news indeed! A Yale professor, a graduate of Johns Hopkins University, has au- daciously admitted that he prefers the phrase "It's me' to the gram- matically correct one "It is I." When the rulers of the academic shades step down from their ivory towers to sanction such colloquial- isms, no institution seems secure. His argument, however, is sim- ilar to that of the numberless oth- er pergons who either wish to "re- vise' the King James version of the Bible or in other ways rob the language of fits elegance, They maintain, quite correctly, that cur- rent usage has had the lion's share in bringing English to its present stage, and that when an expression has attained general vogue it is ipso facto correct. The question then is: When cap an expression be said to have attained a general vogue? . On that last point one can argue until doomsday. Professor Kemp Malone, learned man in question, voiced his preference for "It's me" when that phrase is used in answering the telephone. The telephone and conversations over it are distinctly colloquial and void of ceremony or beauty. In that particular case, therefore, one can excuse him. H. W. Fowler, in his "Dictionary of Modern English Usage," takes the same view. The word "Me," used in that way, he says, "is techme- ally wrong, but, the phrase being of its very nature colloquial, such a lapse is of no importance." Moie- over was it not Theodore Roose- velt who said: "It's either Taft or me?" Politics, too, has its intor- mal moments. tne ONE-LEGGED VETERAN HAMILTON CONSTABLE Hamilton, July 31--Hamilton Coun- zil created a precedent tonight when it appointed a one-legged man to the police force. William Reid, war vet- eran and entrant in the marathon swim in Toronto last year, was named special beach constable at a salary of $25 per week. Despite his lack of one leg, he is one of the best swimmers il the city.

Their truck was struck and smashed to atoms by the noon train at McAllister's Side Road, 6 miles from here, The crossing is considered a very dangerous one. Traveling west, vis- ion 1s ebscured till within 30 feet of the crossing. Rice was the driver for W. J. Gir- van, butcher, and was sent into the country to bring in two pigs. On his way through Nottawa, he picked up Taylor for the ride. They were returiing with the pigs when the fatal smash occurred . Series of Smashes The Collingwood tragedy is the third within a week in Ontario in which minors have been involved. Jack Howe, 14, driving his father's car, was killed" in a crossing crash at Glencoe on Thursday. Sunday, Fred Barnsley, 9, passenger in a car dri- ven by Ray Zools, 14, of Lindsay, was killed. Bools was yesterday arrested on a charge of manslaughter and released on bail of $2,000. He was driving a car borrowed by his elder brother at the time of the fatal smash. His brother had disconnected all the wir- ing and hidden the key to prevent it being taken. Five boys--all minors-- went for a ride and four including Bools were injured in addition to Barnsley who was killed. Two Guelph Children Injured Guelph, July 31--Suffering from in- juries sustained when he was struck by a motor car while riding a bicycle at the intersection of Norfolk and Woolwich streets, Lloyd Rundle, 12- yvear-old-son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rundle, 46 Mont street, lies in the General Hospital seriously injured. The motor car was driven by Albert Dunk, R.R. No. 5, Guelph. Young Rundie was knocked 'off his bicycle and the two left wheels of the car passed over his body. He was rush- ed to the hospital, where it was found that no bones were broken but he was injured internally and was badly crushed about the abdomen, Katherine Hooshooley, aged 4, 236 Stevenson street, was severely bruised about the body today when she was struck by * a motor car driven by William H. Alton, 133 Audrey Ave, at the intersection of York Road and Brockville street. The httle girl ran directly in the path of the machine. YACHTSMAN IN WATER 13 HOURS Is Blown Ashore But Other Members of the Crew Missing Oswego, N.Y., July 31---With Thomas Dietz, aged 21, of Oswego, safe in Sacketts Harbor but not home yet after battling with a * Lake Ontario storm off the Gallop Islands for more than 13 hours, hanging grimly to a small dinghy from the sailing yacht Nymph a search of the Gallops and the Main Ducks in the middle of the lake is being made for his sailing companions Leonard Boyce, aged 21 and John K. Lagoe, aged 22 years, all of Oswego. Answering the appeal of families of the young men the United States coast guard boat No. 131 at Oswego, United States coastguard boat No. 153, of Sacketts Harbor, and the Oswego "coastguard * station crew, used to battle rum-runners on Lake Ontario, spent today searching is- lands in Lake Ontario, but late to- night the Government crafts had not returned to: this port, and no infor- mation was available regarding the success or the failure of their hunt for the missing crew, The boat was last seen six miles off the Gallops Sunday noon bound from Kingston to Oswego, and the coastguard boats headed for there this morning. There is no telephone or other communica- tion to the mainland from the Gallop Islands and no news will be possible until return to Oswego of the fleet. elephone Message Mrs. Grover C. Boyce received a telephone message at 12.30 Tuesday noon with a woman's voice on the cther end of the line stating that her son and Lagoe had been found with the boat safe on the Gallop Islands by the United States coastguard No. 131 which left Oswego at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning with her husband and searching party aboard bound for the Island. A check along the south shore at Sacketts Harbor or Cape Vincent fails to give any definite in- formation gelative to the telephone message. FORKE AND PARTY MAROONED ON WHARF Edmonton, July 31.--One hun- dred members of the Edmonton Board of Trade party, including Hon. Robert Forke, Federal Min- ister of Immigration, spent the en- tire night of July 29 on a lonely ferry whart at Taylor, B.C., waiting for the steamer D. A. Thomas, which was delayed by low water, 660 miles downstream. A dearth of provisions and a driving rain- storm added to the privations of the adventurers, but they chopped down trees fo rfires, and got through the nigh w§hout casual- ties. On Monday an open boat arriv- ed from the D. A. Thomas, and Hon. Mr. Forke and several of the elder members of the party wer tak- en back to the steamer for shelter. The Captain was hopeful of get- ting to Taylor later in the day in order that the party might resume its trip to Hudson's Hope. _- 26,400 VOLTS FAIL TO TAKE MAN'S LIFE Windsor, July 31--Shocked carly this morning when he came in con- tact with wires carrying 26,400 volts of electricity, Fred L. Martin, 57 vears old, 817 Gladstone Avenue, still lives. Though he is in a serious condition at Hotel Dieu, where he was taken after the mishap, his re- covery is expected. He suffers from badly burned hands, body bruises and nervous shock. Mr. Martin decided to dust the tops of the two big transformers at the Walkerville Hydro substation. By some mistake he turned off the power of the wrong transformer and climb- ed to the top of the one in which the current was still circulating. The current entered his body by one hand, and his other hand, clutching one of the cooling pipes of the trans- former, completed a circuit. The shock threw him from the ladder, eight feet to a cement. floor, releas- ing him irom the current. STEAL GASOLINE FROM POLICE CAR Winnipeg Bandits Evade Capture--Throw Tacks on Road to Spoil Tires Grand Forks, July 31--Directed by Sergeant of Detectives C. Mclvor of the Winnipeg Police Department, a posse of border patrol and State offi- cers carried on a vigilant but un- successful search in the district south, of Lawton, N.D,, today for five gun- men be lieved to be the daylight ban- dits who Monday held up two bank messengers in the Manitoba city and escaped with $25,000. Eluding border patrol officers, the five men, travelling i na large auto- mobile, entered North Dakota late Monday afternoon chased by two patrol officers. The bandits staged a gun fight, using a machine gun, and forced the officers' car to halt. The gunmen. then disarmed the offi- cers and secured a supply of gasoline from the police car. This was east of Lawton, and from there on no trace of the men has been found. Several Canadian police officers, under the comnfand of Sergeant Mc- Ivor, arrived at Lawton late last night. They were accompanied by K. Nicholson, onc of the messengers who was held up, and today all joined in the hunt for the desperadoes. Investigation today revealed that the bandits had stopped at a farm house near Lawton late Monday, where they secured a supply of gaso- line. They paid the farmer in United States currency. When chased by the border patrol men Monday, the bandits threw large tacks from their car which punctured the tires of the speeding pursuing automobiles in which United States Immigration Patrolmen Henneberry and Lester Eddington were riding.
